| From south carolina fieldwork photos |
| This is a striking roadside memorial near Newberry, South Carolina in 1988. I photographed the angel during folklife fieldwork I was then doing in the "Up Country" for the South Carolina Arts Commission. From what I can tell, from, frankly, not a whole lot of research, Jeter was a local athlete who was killed in a car accident some years earlier. (There is a memorial fund set up in his name at Westview Behavioral Services in Newberry.) | ||||||||||

just wondering, the year 1988, is that a typo? i know Michael's family rather well and i believe the year is a misprint. it may be 1998.
however, i do appreciate you posting this. is there a way that you can update the link for his memorial?
thanks again.
My name is Angela D. Jeter and I am Michael's mother. He passed away on February 22,1999 at young age of 19 years old from injuries that he secumed to from car accident. Michael was not only a great athlete but he was a wonderful person who was known and loved by many.
